John Deere

Uncle Jimmy scared this fawn while mowing and he ran with a broken leg between the tractor tires.

He then took off and hid in the quonset until Grandpa returned him to the grass. I thought his place of hiding was funny.

The Babies

Luke being cute minding his own business

Julia was so excited to find someone to pick on. She would sneak up to him, steal his pacifier, take hers out and put Luke's in her mouth and then giggle to tease him.

Making sure Luke can see she has his pacifier in her mouth and tickling his feet

Car Wash

It's a good thing we didn't have a horse trailer.

Most of the time, RJ was screaming, "Spray me, Grandpa!"
